Gowling returns to Gillingham

Of all the Lincoln players at Edgar Street yesterday defender Josh Gowling, who had a spell with Hereford during the 2008/09 season, must have been pleased with his performance.

For much of the game he kept Hereford United striker Sean Canham in check and when Mathieu Manset came out to replace Canham he didn't give the Beast much space either.

However the good news is that Gowling has played his last game for the Imps as his loan deal with them finished yesterday and he is back with Gillingham.

On the other hand striker Delroy Facey was absent from the Lincoln squad as he was on international duty with Grenada. He will be back for the replay.
